During Geoff Stults and Michael Clarke Duncan’s visit to the TVLine interview couch at Comic-Con, the stars of The Finder gave me everything an interviewer could hope for: spoilers about a rumored crossover with sister series Bones, candid conversation about pre-debut cast changes and idle chatter about a musical episode a la Glee.

But then they gave me even more: a glimpse at the jealousy seething beneath the surface that clearly could tear this hit-to-be apart.

Watch the clip below and see for yourself.

Something about Michael Clarke Duncan’s smile makes me happy.

- I love the voice. I could listen to him talk for hours.

Adorable. I’m happy that the show got picked up after their Bones test-pilot.

I had no intention of watching this show after viewing the pilot, but these two are great together.

Didn’t watch all of the pilot, but liked the banter between the leads. Will give it another chance. Very good PR there from the lads.

CBS may have cancel Criminal Minds spinoff “Suspect Behavior”, but the same thing goes for FOX to cancel Bones spinoff “The Finder” after the first season ends.

Meh. Call me cruel, but I’d rather not see The Finder take off. I have more love for Bones than this spinoff, and I really don’t want the mothership show going down the tubes while Hart Hanson plays with his new baby.

I still don’t get how this happened, The Finder episode of Bones was not interesting, Michael Clark Duncan didn’t even make it interesting and he’s awesome. I adore him.

But I was bored that episode and felt it wasted my time, so I’m just baffled they gave the spin off the go ahead.

is it me or does Michael Ausiello’s head look disproportionately large in this interview??

The background music was very distracting and it seemed to be louder than the actual interview I did not finish watching.

No Finder for me, a crossover with Bones…NO, please No, I really dislike the idea. The finder pilot in Bones was so boring! Even a good actor as Michael Clarke Duncan can make that new show a hit. Sorry, but in my opinion The Finder was a bad pilot.

- yeah, that episode was really bad. and worst idea ever. how can we care about simple appearances in a procedural we love

I’m going to give this show a chance, I’m going to watch the ACTUAL pilot and a few episodes after that. I like the two leading men and i hope they cast a good actress for the leading female! (One without a distracting accent please.)

They’re cute. I’ll give them a shot.

Okay, I know I’m going to get jumped on for this, but I’ve not watched Bones (I’ve seen a few episodes and I don’t have anything against it, it just didn’t light a fire for me – not hate!), so I didn’t see the back-door pilot. However, they are great together! I love Mr. Duncan, and I’m so glad that he’s going to be working regularly, and on my tv, nonetheless! Based on this interview, I think I might watch the real pilot…

Bones crossovers are going to be fun to watch here. The shows will be on different networks in Australia.

I think what everyone needs to realize is this show wouldn’t have ever even gotten picked up to go to series if Emily Deschanel wasn’t pregnant. I don’t see it lasting long at all.

I was already planning to give The Finder a shot based on the Bones ep, which I didn’t find nearly as horrible as so many make it out to be. This interview though, now has be eager for the show to premier. Nicely done guys.

I don’t like either one of these guys and I didn’t like the cross-over show. Especially when it crossed over and took over my Bones hour.

I love Bones, but I too didn’t like the cross-over pilot episode. I think it was the worst episode of Bones season 6. And I’m obsessed with Bones, so I don’t think I will be watching.
